‘The Mother Teresa School Way’:

We will show the value of Unity towards those we meet in our class and on the playground by: 

  • having harmony in the group
  • doing something together at the same time
  • working together with a shared goal
  • respecting everyone
  • making big tasks seem easy.
  • creating a sense of belonging and increasing well-being for all.
  • having fun and makes us feel like a family.

PROJECT COMPASSION

At Mother Teresa School, we are trying to reach out to others and bring hope to those who are less fortunate than ourselves during this time of Lent by raising money for Project Compassion. We invite all families to contribute by sending in the envelops each Friday. Each class has a Project Compassion box available for the children’s donations.  Remember that it is not how much we give, but the compassion that accompanies our giving.  

Thank you for your generous contributions. This week we raised $267:40 A total of $1,002:60 so far?

 God of all hope,

we pray for our world with all its beauty and need.

We thank you for the love in our lives that is a mirror of your unending love.

May all creation know your compassion this Lent and may we take courage to share it,

especially with those who don’t have what they need.

In our time, we hear the same words you spoke to Moses: ‘I will be with you,’ when you ask us to do courageous things.

Through our prayer, fasting and almsgiving, move us to act in the company of your Spirit,

showing compassion and acting for justice to renew the face of the Earth,

now and for all future generations.

We ask this in the name of Christ.

Amen.

5th Sunday of Lent 17 March 2024 - Year B

“If a grain of wheat falls on the ground and dies, it yields a rich harvest.”

 

Something to Think About

When a seed is planted in the ground, something amazing happens. As it receives water, it begins to die. It sheds its outer shell and then it swells up and bursts open. From the death of the seed, new life begins! A root grows from the seed and eventually a new plant pokes up through the ground towards the sun. Something living comes from something that died! A plant can grow from that one tiny seed and produce lots of food!

The Story

In this week’s gospel, Jesus uses the image of a grain of wheat to talk about what will happen to him. He will live on the earth and then he will die, but many people after Jesus will continue his work and spread the Good News throughout the earth.  Jesus tells his friends that they must serve God before else, rather than focusing on their own personal interests. Those who follow Jesus will have a great reward, because God will honour them.
